Sugar and spice
How does Diaz like her men? How's on a leash sound?
By DENIS ARMSTRONG


This is one movie Cameron Diaz doesn't want you to see.

The star of Charlie's Angels is fighting to keep a skanky S&M video she appeared in under wraps.

These days, Diaz is the highest-paid actress in Hollywood and a real Tinseltown power-broker. But it was a different story in 1992 when she frolicked in She's No Angel: Cameron Diaz, photographer John Rutter's 30-minute soft-core porn video which shows a then-19-year-old Diaz topless in fishnet stockings, romping with a leather-clad dominatrix around an unidentified man wearing nothing but a loose-fitting loincloth.

According to the New York Post, the semi-naked nymphets tease and taunt him while Rutter can be heard saying to Diaz "Strut it, baby!" and "I want you hot and sexy!"

The climactic scene shows Diaz spraying compressed air on her nipples while grinning to the camera "Whoa, look at them, look how big they got."

Diaz and Rutter have been suing each other for a year over rights to the film. Rutter claims Diaz signed a release at the time the video was shoot, giving him rights. Diaz claims the signature on the release is forged and said Rutter tried to blackmail her for $3.3 million US to keep the stills from the video under wraps.

But now the cat is out of the bag. The movie is a $39.95 download available online at Scandal-Inc.com. And there are bootlegs circulating on file-sharing sites.

Scandal-Inc.com says it bought the rights to the video from Rutter sometime in 2003 for an undisclosed sum. "To the best of my understanding, Rutter had sold the licensing rights to the tapes and photos years ago," said a Scandal-Inc.com spokesman.

Diaz is disputing Scandal-Inc.com's claim. In a statement to the Post, her publicist Brad Cafarelli noted a Los Angeles judge issued a permanent injunction last November that "prohibits anyone from selling, licensing, syndicating, distributing, publishing, broadcasting, disseminating, displaying or commercially exploiting the photos and video shot by John Rutter in 1992."

Cafarelli declined further comment "in light of the fact that there are ongoing criminal and civil proceedings pending regarding this matter."

Ironically, Diaz recently signed to star as a Playboy Playmate in the new 20th Century Fox film XGirls.
